MyHouseMyStreet is a community-based project to enable today's residents of Brighton & Hove to discover who lived in their homes in the past. It also provides street histories and stories about earlier residents. It was produced by staff and volunteers at The Regency Town HouseHeritage Centre with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

This website, together with its historical data, supporting exhibitions and educational activities were all made possible thanks to the support it received from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
